Cav. Church Confirmed.

The news of the confirmation Of Governor
Church was received in Bismarck last Satur-
day, and will be hailed with satisfaction by
all. Governor Pierce's letter to the President
asking to be relieved, and the prompt acqui-
escence of the president in his wishes, no
doubt fastened the action of the senate. Few,
if any, took any stock in the silly charges Of
intemperance preferred against Mr.. Church by
personal enemies. Being personal friend Of
Mr.. Cleveland's, it stands to reason that the
president would have known 1t il there had
existed any foundation for the charge Gov
ernor Pierce, before retiring, repeatedly urged
his friends in the senate to conGrln Church. 1t
is probable that by this time Governor Church
has assumed the duties of the Office and re-
lieyed Secretary Mccormick. who became
the acting governor when Mr.. Pierce surren-
dered the office.

Commissioner Sparks After Scalps in
Griggs County.

Mr.. Maynard Crane has received notification
from Land Commissioner Sparks under date
Of January 4th, giving him sixty days from
date Of letter to show cause as to why his pre-
emption grant should not be cancelled, theland
Office having decided that the time Of residence
on claim, prior to proof, was insufficient. Mr..
Crane lived on his claim the greater part of
eight months; had forty acres Of it broken,
and cropped; had spent $500 cash on buildings.
In August, 1884, he made final proof, at cost
of $40O more, furnishing at the time a supple
mental affidavit to the effect that the gaining Of
his livelihood compelled him to be away from
his claim portion of each week. He has
written to Secretary Of the Interior Lamar in
regard to the matter, and expects decision in
a few days. II Mr.. Sparks succeeds in this in
stance, then there is at least one half Of the
improved farms in Dakota which can be taken
away from the present occupants Coopers-

1t is now sixteen days since we have had a
train. During this time two attempts have
been made to send up snow pow, but ON
both occasions tho plow was broken and had
to 90 bach for repairs. The first attempt was
made last Monday, and the pIow got within
few miles Of Page when it broke. 1t is re-
ported that yesterday one Of the driving wheels
was broken and the locomotive derailed. 1t is
impossible to say at present when another at
tempt will be made to open the road.

tains all the events Of the day, slipped of all

essence, go that you may be spared the labor

Journal Tie Journal has perfected system
Of news gathering through which it is enabled
to lay before its readers each days news up to
within few minutes Of going to press, thus
gaining about twelve hours advantage over its
morning contemporaries To the people Of
this section it is particularly adapted, as our
mail leaves Minneapolis at 1880 in the evening
and is due here at 1:S5 the next morning, thus
giving rs full market reports Of the previous
day. Tho price, too, is another strong recon-
mendation in favor Of the Journal, being only
S5 per year, nearly a half less than the morn
ing papers. With these advantages in its favor
we can now understand why it is that the
success Of the Evening Journal under Its pres
ent management has been almost phenomenal.

ERIE, Pa, Feb. 8.-Christain F..
Schau, the mau who murdered his
daughter, cheated the hangman out of
his victim last evening by hanging him
self in his cell. 1t will be remembered
that Schau, while attempting to kill his
wife few weeks ago, was prevented by
the interference of his two daughters,
Annie and Minnie, both young women.
Maddened at their interference he turned
and shot Minnie dead On the spot and
then shot Anna, and although she is
still alive she is a physical wreck.
Schau then escaped from the house and
when oVertaken by policeman he
turned on the officer, and fred upon
blm Failing to hit his man, he fell
under the officers mace, ard was taken
to prison. On the way to the lookup
the Infatuated people made an attempt

but while the grand jury was sitting on
his case, preparatory to. gong to trial,
he evated his fellow prisoners, and when
the warden took him his supper he
found Schau hanging by his handker-
chief to the grating quite dead. This
ends the career OF one of the most vii
famous men that ever drew breath in
this section.
